Rakin Fetuga, a former member of successful UK hip-hop group Cash Crew, started Mecca 2 Medina in 1996, along with Ishmael Yasin and Abdul Karim. The group aims to educate, entertain and enlighten through the music of conscious hip-hop. All of the members converted to Islam and you can hear the influence of this in their lyrics.

The group have performed as far afield as Nigeria to Chicago and at Islamic conferences alongside many other top Islamic music groups. Mecca 2 Medina also perform up and down the UK at Islamic events and universities.
